coconut milk loaf with dark chocolate flakes

This is my first post of the year and in a while. I have been silent on the blog, though I kept baking a little for the family in these past months without posting, and of course, reading my favourite blogs on a weekly basis. And though I did not actually post anything, I checked with great delight that many people came to the blog for the most popular recipes, which made me feel how alive the page is and inspires me to go on.

As for the ingredients, I realized I am starting the year where I left it on my last post. It´s that I am really obsessed with all the possibilities coconut gives us. I became a fervent user of coconut oil for cooking and coconut sugar as part of my baking recipes. For this loaf I used a creamy and frothy coconut milk from Thailand, which gave it a rich texture.

I think chocolate is one of the perfect matches for coconut. I grated a 70% cocoa dark chocolate I had kept away from my children´s sight (the remains are back in the hiding place!) and added it to the batter to complement the flavours.
